Alan, please.....have Zacc do a little research and write a piece on these brokers (such as DroneBase) rather than "news" that's viewed through rose colored glasses. Start with FB group "DroneBase Lovers and Haters". The business models of these brokers are NOT good for this industry. It's a "race to the bottom".

The shear volume of letters to elected officials is the best way forward.

AMA affiliated clubs, with their privately owned airfields, and club rules, should be exempt from ANY new FAA oversight. It is total ignorance to think of these folks as "Drone" fliers and subject them to the same new regulations being imposed on the individual quad fliers. I suggest all interested parties visit.....and speak with....your local "scaled modeler's" clubs.

In January of 2017, Trump signed "Executive order, for every new Federal Regulation, two must be omitted". With the new UAS registration rule......not only done so without NPRM.....but tell me what "two rules" were eliminated?
